Nobody was spared in the trails. 8 of 8 discos got serious damage, from rear bumper and rear quarter panel damage. It was a test drive. first time the trail was used. Boulders, stream, mud, and a lot of standing and fallen slippery trees. Gained new respect for my old pal disco. She had a full traction control workout yesterday. Cheers

Might want to wrap it in bubble wrap before the next go.

Use it as a good excuse to by some bumpers

Bubble wraps are expensive.
I am hoarding a bumper for months now got it for 600, thought of selling it last winter. I thought was heavy for daily driver but I guess I has to be installed. Just got a fender on ebay today, its green though.

Let me know next time before you head out! Mine's already banged up so any extra knocks would just be badges of honour.

Ouch! Wheeling this time of the year is extremely difficult on metal/plastic parts. Darn frost is still in the ground, but the top few inches is soft after it warms up some...making for a slippery mess. Plus, wet logs are cold/frozen...so crossing them on an angle is super difficult...especially if still covered in frost.

Wheeled for three days up north over the weekend, but played with kid gloves and walked several areas before attempting.

Gerry, I'm surprised you couldn't find a silver fender....seems to be a pretty popular color.

Brian.

Yeah Gerry, keep me posted when you guys go wheeling. I'm in the City, but don't mind a drive. Thanks!
